BREAKING: We demand Congress hold a hearing on @Amazon’s safety crisis.

3 Amazon workers in NJ died on the job in 3 weeks.

The 1st worker, Rafael, died in the Prime Day rush–when consumers shop, and workers fulfill orders til they drop

We're calling on @SenSchumer @SpeakerPelosi @PattyMurray @SenatorBurr @BobbyScott @virginiafoxx to use your oversight responsibility and respond to the tragic deaths of NJ Amazon workers and the 34,000 serious injuries last year alone.

We urge your committees to exercise oversight responsibility by convening a public emergency congressional hearing, asking questions of the individuals responsible for the dangerous labor practices that are causing these injuries and deaths, including Amazon CEO @ajassy.

@ieamazonworkers @amazon As the very first coordinated action from an Amazon air facility, this action boldly escalates the fight for demands @Amazon workers are making across the country:

✊🏽 fair pay
✊🏿 safe, healthy workplace
✊🏻 end to retaliation for unions

This means the vast majority of the current shift have just walked out.

They make up about 11% of Amazon workers in this critical @Amazon facility.

It comes on the heels of 3 deaths of Amazon workers in just 3 weeks in New Jersey.

Dave Clark, once again, ignoring @Amazon's own ability to respond to this disaster by leaning on the Red Cross, without mentioning its own massive ability to come to aid workers and families impacted. #AmazonTornado

At least 2 @Amazon workers just died when a warehouse collapsed over them

Many more trapped and injured. No answers from Amazon of why workers were still in the facility after tornado warnings

All Amazon's CEO @davehclark offered?

"Thoughts and prayers"
